Interesting fact
The reverse side of the coin features a depiction of the Roman goddess Victory standing on the prow of a ship, holding a wreath and a palm branch. This design was meant to symbolize the Roman Empire's military victories and its expansion across the Mediterranean region. The use of Victory as a symbol of Roman power and dominance was a common theme in Roman coinage during this period.
